6 STEPS TO MAKE NATURAL LIP BALM AT HOME
Below we will introduce the easiest way to make natural lip balms at home.
Before this, we would like to introduce you The ratio of beeswax to olive oil is 1:4. You can add or subtract according to the number of lipsticks made. For example, to make seven tubes of lipstick, beeswax is 7g and olive oil is 28g.
If you want the lipstick to be harder, put more beeswax, and if want softer, put less beeswax. More or less as you like, but the ” tolerance” should not be too large, otherwise either too hard to use, or too soft to make a cream. The normal ratio is that the ratio of beeswax to oil is 1:4, and the hardness is just all right.
Step 1: Disinfection. Using 75% medical alcohol to soak the empty lip balm tube or tins, measuring cup, and stirring bars for about half an hour, then air-dry naturally.
Step 2: Melting wax.Cut the beeswax into small pieces and put it into a measuring cup, slowly heat and stir it over a small fire over water. The melting point of the wax is about 60-70 degrees, and the water temperature should not be too high.
Step 3: Melting oil. Pour olive oil and stir well to mix with beeswax.
Step 4: Trial drop.Take a little mixture from the cup and place a drop on the table. After cooling, feel the softness and hardness to the touch. If it is too soft, add wax, and if it is too hard, add oil until you are satisfied.
Step 5: Add vitamin E or essential oil. Wait for the temperature of the mixture to decrease slightly before adding vitamin E or essential oil. (Depending on your favorite, not essential)
Step 6: Irrigation tube or tin. Depending on the size of the empty tubes or tins, it is generally possible to irrigate many branch tubes or tins at one time.
